He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Janina Wojcik, nieces, Michelle, Kristy-Ann, nephew Kyle and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Dave was predeceased by his brother Kim, his father-in-law Jozef and grandparents. Until his health did not permit, Dave worked at M.L.C.C. where he met Leona and made many good friends. He loved nature and took great care of his flower and vegetable gardens. He loved fishing, hockey and the NFL, but most of all he loved to watch Dylan play football. The family would like to thank Dr. Hershfield for his compassion during many difficult times and Dr. Fred Olynk for his dedicated care and friendship.
